Hi Matt,

My apologies - I literally only saw your email today.

I'm certainly happy to see someone want to take over maintainership of an
abandoned package - especially Spreadsheet Excel Writer!

I think Carsten Schmitz did some work on Spreadsheet Excel Writer just a
few months ago, so while the package is marked as unmaintained he might be
interested in any additional changes to it.

Maybe you could add a few pull requests for it on
https://github.com/pear/Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer and we can see how things
go?


Thanks!

Ken
